WORDS OF STRENGTH.
There are three loisom I would write.
Three words as with a burning pen,
In tracings of eternal light,
Upon the hearts of men.
Hare hop*. Though clouds environ now,
And giadnesi hidether face in scorn,
Put thou the thAdow from thy brow—
No night but hath its morn.
Hare faith. Where'er thy hark is driven,
The calm's dirport, the lemtfat's mirth-
Know this— Ood rates the host of heaven,
The inhabitants of earth.
Hare lovo. Not love alone for one,
Bnt man as man, thy brother call,
And Bcatter, like the circling sun,
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these lessons on thytnul—
Hope, Faith and Love —and thou shall finJ
Strength when life's surges rudest roll,
Light when thou else wert blind.
The Latest Freak in Fashion.
Po you know the latest fashion ? NJ.
Well, it is fur * young woman to have a
photograph taken pf Iter hand, and pre
sent it us a souvenir to her intimate 1
friend*. The great question, "What ;
shall 1 do with my hands?" teems at;
last to have been answered by fashion, |
which says, "flute them photographed "
The trial of properly disposing of tSe
hands has always been great with those
who visit the photographer To hold a |
fan is stilted, to rest thorn upon the lap
is awkward, for the loveliest hands in
the world look large in a photograph,
and to fold them gives a white patch in '
the picture not at all artistio. A pretty :
and fashionable blonde, dressed in her
black velvet suit, a Tew days ago went to
a photographer to haye a panel picture
—the popular style now—taken for the !
full length of her figure when standing. 1
She wore a Spanish lace jabot from neck i
to toe, and this gave fullness and grace
to her slender form "Now, what shall
Ido with my hands?" she said. Tbey
were perfect in shape, the fingers taper
ing to the waxen tips, where the delicate
pink nails demonstrated the height to
which the manicure's art has attained.
The artist saw at a glance that the hands
were well worth taking in the picture,
und he made various suggestions. "No," |
said the blonde, entwining her fingers i
beneath the lace jabot so that they j
would be nearly concealed, "I will stand
thus, and then I will haye my hands ,
taken separately." Tho idea was a good .
one. Alter her negative was made, she
rested ber arm upon an upright support,
sad held her baud against a black wal |
nut background while it was photograph- !
ed It made a beautiful picture, which ;
is now for sale in a Nassua street store !
among pictures of actresses, actors, divas,
tenors and ioipresatios. This seems to
have started the fashion. Now young
ladies may enjoy the pleasure ot giving
their hand lo many beaux, while reserv
ing the flesh and blood teality for the
one they love best—AVtr York Letter.
The One Name.
Jesus! How doos the very word
ovtiflow with exceeding sweetness, and
light, and joy, and love, and life ■ filling
the air with odors, like precious oint
ment poured forth , irradiating the mind
with a glory'of truths in which no fear
oan live; soothing the wounds of the
heart with a balm that turns the sharpest
anguish into a delioious peaoe, shedding
through the soul a cordial of immortal
strength. Jesus ! the answer to our
doubts, the spring of all our oouragei
the earnest of all our hopes, the charm
omnipotent against all our foes, the rem
edy for all our woakness, the supply of
all our wants, the fnllness #f all our de
tires. Jesus I st the mention of whose
name every knee shall bow and every
tongue confess. Jesus ! our righteous
ness, our sanotifioation, our redemption ;
Jesus ! our elder brother, our Blessed
Lord and Redeemer. Thy name is the
most transporting theuae of the church,
at they ting going up from the valley of
tsars to their home on the Mount of
God; tby name shall aver be the riebest
ohord in the harmony of heaven, where
tht angels and the redeemed unite their
exnliiflg, adoriog toogt around the
throne of God. ' Jesus! Thou only eanst
interpret thy own name, and thou has
done it by tby works on earth, and tby
glory at the right hand of the Father.

The Noed of Economy.
If the mistress of tha household is inclin
ed to be extravagant in her expenditures,
her servants, who are quick imitators,
will soon follow her example, and make
«ad waito of the materials put into their
hands. The improvident cUss, from ;
which our help mostly come, soon learn
the lessons taught hy such ex imple, and
become careless of the property of tho
employer, even when they have no :
thought of appropriating anything to
use Hut such
should be remembered, uiake our emplo- j
J yees, of both sexes, totally unfit to man- !
ago a home ol their own, or savo enough,
when family cartas ooates upon them, to |
keep them from the poorhouse. How
many of us have seen what wretched,
incompetent creatures those girls become
after marriage who have lived in wealthy
I families, with a great abundance t« w«k
with and no cautions from their employ
er to use it discreetly and with a true
economy. They are incapable of mak- i
ing the most of their small possesions.
If they had been taught economy, and
how best to manage their own earnings,
| they could help their hard working hus i
I bands to build up little comfortable"
homes for themselves and rear and edu
| cate their children with such care that
they might become among our most '
j influential citizens. Hut unless those
wealthy ladies with whom they took
' their first lessons were those who feel
I tho true responsibility of their positious
and the guidance they owe to their
servants, when the untutored daa.sels
I marry they drift as helple>sly as a rud
: derless ship in a storm, and year by year
j sink downinti dee? ;rp >»erty and wretch
edness, ending perhaps, in a pauper'i
grave—ruined for life by the extrava
gant habits learned before marriage
What is a lientieman.
This is a question often askod and
not always satisfactorily answered For
J the ideas conveyed to different minds
; by the word are very different.
; To some persons he is a gentleman
who wears fino clothes, who does not
j work, who has an abundance of money
I and spends it freely. Hut in truth,
| though a gentleman may be rich, well
| dressed, liberal, 'and have ho need"" of
I toil, no one or all of these things, give
i him any right to the namo Hut the
j man who is of kind and gentle demea
nor to all, who is upright, candid and
truthful, who is loyal to his friends, and
; needs no bond to hold him faithful to
his promises,—this man is a gentleman,
whether he be clad in broadcloth or
i homespun; yes, even though he may be
iso poor that he has no means for prodi
> gal giving, and is compelled by stern
! necessity to labor hard for daily bread.
It is what he ts, not what he has, that
makes the true gentleman.
Lack of Air.
Some workmen think themselve "tir
ed" when they are only poisoned They
labor ia factories, breathe air without
oxygen, and live in an atmosphere of
death. Tbey art, too often, allowed to
I smoke, and thus add fuel to the flame
which it consuming them. They knock
| off work "tired" and listless, when the
are merely weakened by foul air and
made dull and heavy by an atmosphere
1 charged with disease. They keep the
windows shut and close the door on
; health, while they lift the gratings of
the tomb by breathing and rebreathing
the poison from their own lungs, and the
floating partioles of matter about them.
. Open the windows—let in the sunshine
and the breeze, stop smoking, and you
; will toon find that it it the poison of eon
finemeni, and net labor, that wearies and

True Boonomy.
A saving woman at the head of a
family is the very best savingsbank
established. The idea of saving is a
pleasant one; and, if the women imbibed
it onoe, they would cultivate it and
adhere to it; and thus when they are
not aware of it, they would be laying
the foundation of a competent security
in a stormy time, and shelter in a rainy
day. Tut jest way for he. to compre
hend ia to keep an aooount of all current
expenoes. Whether five hundrel dol
lars or five thousand dollars are expen
ded annually, there it a chance to save
something where before she thought it
inipoeeible This it a duty, yet dot a
sordid avarice, but a moral obligation
that rustt upon womaq at well as meo.
Mabel, why, you dear little girl,"
exclaimed her grandpa, seeing, bis .little
gran'daughter with her head tied up,"
''have you got the headache ?" "No,"
the answered, sweetly, "I'se dot a spit
turl." ,
An Epidemic of Suicide.
A Wave of suicide seems to be sweep-
! ing over the whole country. Instil j
parts of tho republic men and women
are blowing out the little braius they
posses? aod cutting their worthless throuts
iu the most reckless manner. The com
pensating circumstance about, it ia that
it rids the world of a number of people
: who, if they did not kill theniselves,
would brobably kill somebody else, and
that they make business lively lor the
undertakers and the. coroners It is
almost impossible toaceount for this de
strivtivo tendency that occurs every
oncelfc# awhile. Tho apeculative wtit
era aod philosophers endeavor to account
for it in various ways, and they talk ,
learnedly and eloquently about crime
cycles and tuoro or less other sentimental
rubbish, all of whioh is very good as a
I theory. The fact of the matter is there |
arc a great many more craty people in |
the world, er, as tlicy call them in Wash- 1
! ington, "cranks," than the world itnag '
. ines When a great popular excitetiie.it
that stirs the whole country comes these
| weak-minded creatures jump off the lim ,
1 wharf, ti-J themselvea to the first rope
| they sec, or point tj their heads the first
. old rusty pistol they run across The
I majority of them *re of far more u«e be
i low ground than about it.— New York
Herald.
Suppressing the Moaquito.
Professor Fontaine gives soma hints
for abating the mosquito pest which is
i sure to eoino with the advent of sunny
> days. lie says, mosquitot require water
! for the deposit of their eggs aod the
: rearing of their larva: or wiggletails
Therefore all cisterns should be made
olose and covered with close, woven brass
wire setting to prevent their laying in
them No old tubs, barrels, or recepta
cles of water ought to be permitted, aud
no stagnant pools left undrained within
; a mile of any dwelling. Then they can
be killed by the cheapest and most abun
danfi rof* all alkalies, common iia»e-.
; Therefore this ought td be pourc4
■ every cess-pool and spring A pound or
j strong lime to every one hundred gal
: lons of stagnant water is sufficient. Hut
even a pound to one thousand gallons
: of a cistern of drinking water will kill ;
! them, although it will probably give the
water an unpleasant flavor aad make it
i "too hard" for uio»t domestic tastes.
Religious Beading.
It is a suggestive story that it told of |
a good deacoo, who, going out of prayer
meeting one evening, said to a young
man standing on the porch :
"Good evening, friend. Do yon live
in this vicinity ?"
"Yes, sir."
"Ah," said tho deacon, "where do you
attend ohuroh f"
"I come here, sir."
"How long have you attended this
church ?"
"Well, sir 4 I should think it about
fourteen years."
It was not strange that the deacon
said afterward that tbit was a good les
son for him. The same lesson, or ono
like it, neede to be taught rnanv others
in the churches, both private members
and officers They attend the service, j
' are interested in certain parts oi the
work, and look with solioitude upon all
the affairs of their congregations, but
tbey negleot to cultivate an aequaint- J
anee with those who art their brethren j
in the same household. There are a
few large congregations where a thor
ough acquaintance ia not possible, but
in most oases the churohes are of such
size that people may know eaoh other )
■'if they wish to do so.
So Natural.
A boy on a farm in Kentucky, one
day last summer, fell to the ground
with exhaustion three times while car
rying an armful of wood from the yard
into kitchen; and then he jumped over
the front feuoe, ran miles and a
half down the road to eatttb up with a
traveling oirous, fought nearly an h)Ur
with three different neat of bumblebees
went in swimming four times, ran down
a rabbit, and treed two ooous, made
eleven whittlts, two bows, and tix pop 1
guns, olimbed a tree one hundred eighty
feet high to get a orowt't nest, lost one
suspeodei', tore out tht whole afterguard
of bit trowters, killed a snake four feet
long, wrot a fisbiag, Mt 6rt to a pilt ol
oord wood, run a plan thorn through bit
hand, had a fight with the boy on tht
next farm, wat ebated by a dog, and get
home to make tho painful discovery that

Vengeance Upon a Mule
Old Silas was a very revengeful man.
Now, Silas owned n mule, antf one day
the mule raised his hind legs and smote
Silas, whereupon tho old man sat upon
the barn floor and wept. S iddenly he
smiled, and se.Zing a train sack lie filled
it with saud and rooks, and tied a leather
apron around it. Then he hung it down
(roui the beam right behind the mulj.
A shudder passed over the animal, but
he nerved himself and let fly. He sent
the bag to the roof, hot tho recoil struck
him with surprise, not only onoe but two
or three times. The mule wasn't used
to buiug kicked back Old Silas laugh
ed until tears ran down his cheeks. The
mule kicked again and the big kicked
book. They kept up the contest all day
and towards evening the mule showed
signs of weakening but old Silan was not
satisfied yet. He w«nii to bed and dur
ing the night he heard the mule braying
for mercy, but his heart was hardened.
When he went to the stable in the morn
ing tho aand hag was as fresh as ever, but
the mule had laid down in despair and
was dead—died ot a broken heart.
A Small Boy's Wandering Thoughts
A good mother, whose 5-year old boy
is exceptionally conscientious and de
vout, has olten been smitten witii a pang
of apprehension lest her darling might
be too good for this world. The thought
cauie into her mind the other day, when
her head was by ttie side of her child's
nt church iu prayer time ; but this pain
was quickly banished by a very different
feeling when the little boy said to her in
a low whisper "Mamma, can't I go to
the circus to morrow ? There's going
to be a horse on stilts." On a quiet, an
swer from the mother tho child returned
to his devotions. Aod what does this
story show'! That the child was hu
inao ; but not that his apparent devotion
was deceit or delusion The little boy's
mind wandered in his prayer as the
mind* of some grown pcoplo do, and he
spoke out his thought, as grown people
generally do not.
WAIT —"Oh, the drudgery of this
every-day routino !" cries many a busi

woman. "To get through the day, and
have the same round to traverse to-mor

use the graoious superintendent of your
life is making o' this humdrum, as you
call it ? A poor, blind mill hjrse treads
his beat, hour alter hour, and it all seems
to conic to nothing Hut the shaft he
is turning is geared into others, and they
into wheels, that in other rooms, above
him, far away beyond his hearing, are
working out results that he could never
comprehend. Wait uutil you Bee no
longer through a glass darkly, and soe
the unknown bearings and connections

Tut CHOP ot INSANK MURDBRKKS.
—The crop of murderously insane
people is too large. A man with
murderous insanity should be arrosted
on sight. Sane people have rights.
Women aod children havo rights.
Presidents and governers have rights.
People have rights in the public street
and depots to protection from assassins
A man considered "eccentrio" on the
first hostile motion should be shut up
for good. Lawyers who set up the
plea of insanity for murderers should be
hung by tho side of their clients.
When a murderer is really itisane he
murders without motive and it doesn't
require the aid of lawyers to disoover
his insanity —Winston Leader.
"If I had another opportunity 1 would
not try to shoot the President," said
Gitteau Friday. I thought I bad an in
spiration to rcmovo him, but I see I
must have been mistaken. I think it it
ordained by God that the President shall
not be killed, and for that reason I would
not try it again if I had a chance. If
it wtre not deoreed by God that he
should not be killed how oould he be
alive now? I htld the pistol close to
bis baok, and my hand was steady as
iron. I fired point blank at him, and
nothing but diyine interposition could
havt saved him. He will not die, lam
coovinoed and I am sorry I caused him
ta much suffering. It is no use for any
one tt try to kill him now, for no bullet
can do it. It is so ordained, and we
must abide the will of Ileavea.'— H as/i
